Okay the dude just called back from Lake District Backpackers, we have to book for three nights (fine by me since I'll be a jobless bum then anyway but I know other folk need to consider family and work), and it's £18.95 per person, per night. There's one room with six bunks, two rooms with four bunks and a dinky one which I've already dibbed. :monster: We've got until TUESDAY NIGHT AT THE LATEST to mither or we lose the booking. They want a 50% deposit upfront as it's a large booking, with the balance due at start of August.

TL;DR someone needs to take charge of payment (can do, that's fine), and deposits need to come in ASAP, preferably via bank transfer as that's how the lodge wants to be paid to avoid PayPal fees.

If this isn't suitable for anyone then can you please find an alternative with facilities for such a large group pl0x because I'm fooked.
Also everyone needs to confirm for definite if they're coming or not now.

I might agree to book :monster: And pay in full :monster: And then back out :monster: But I'll do my best :monster:

Which 3 nights did you book? I'm guessing it's Fri, Sat and Sun?

So it looks like we'll be renting the whole place? Interesting :monster:. Does it have like a common room?

I'm gonna assume there are more than 4 rooms there?

According to the website, they have five rooms.

Anyone flying in (I'm mainly looking at Tets here) to Manchester Airport, I can meet there and take them up to the exact location on a train(s)

That reminds me, I might not arrive at a reasonable time because flights at reasonable times are more expensive. :wacky:

I like the look of that Distant Horizons thing too although I guess it's a bit further up than Windermere/Ambleside/Bumblefeck

Dude we never even mooted Bumblefeck as a location, next you'll be wanting to visit Twatt or Bell End, you fickle shit.

Are those in Bunglecuntshire? Always wanted to go tbh

not sure if joking considering the whole thread has been about you guys trying to go to Cumbria

Always fancied Hell myself. :awesome:

@ Fangu: Yep, booked for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Trying to do two nights anywhere on a bank holiday has proven to be the sticking point so it's either three nights or bugger all. Anyway if you pay for a place and then bail on us you will be substituted for a sex doll wearing assless chaps. :monster:

The rooms are shared and we have four of the five rooms to ourselves. TBH for the size of our group I daresay whoever's booked the other room won't hang about. Each room has its own keycode to get in, there are lockers and small lockable cabinets by each bed (bring a padlock if you want to make use of it).

Everybody needs to cough up £28.43 which is the 50% deposit, or you can pay in full, whichever. I've got a text file now with details, ORGANISATION IS HAPPENING.

To ourselves? But surely we won't fill all the beds. I thought they'd put randomers with us there too or something. :monster:

There's up to sixteen beds available for us, and a two/three dinky room is already booked. We're literally filling the rest of the bunkhouse if we all go. :D

The proper bogan (?) thing to do would be to buy several crates of beer and drink them all in there for three days straight :monster:

edit: ooh pictures. It's got err. sitting bags. :monster:

Was looking at events nearby. There's boat hire, but renting any boat for 1 hour is as expensive or more than renting a room :monster:

Ah, Windermere is pretty sedate compared to tramping up scafell pike. :awesome:

If everyone's happy with what I've arranged, I'm gonna need deposits of £28-something or other sent over pronto (if we don't confirm and pay by Tuesday we lose the booking). PM me for bank details.
